WGA pay is low by industry norms and I hope you guys are able to quash that issue during your negotiations (first contracts tend to take a while). As for the rest of the operation is seems that it's being fairly competently run and expanded and it may indeed be an excellent time to get in for those who want to take a roll of the dice.
This is true. Seriously, congratulations, I know it’s a good income by US standards. But, by industry standards, that’s base pay for a wide body Captain. Of course their is purple and brown, where that kind of flying would bet you over 500k, but Atlas or K4 would have paid out over 350+ for that much work.
At the end of the day, do you feel you deserve more? Since you could walk on to most airlines with your experience? If so, demand it.
